ASSIG-NOR TO W. H. MAZE COMPANY, OF

PERU, ILLINO'IS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.

BAND FOR SHING-LES.

Application led July 16,

T o all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN E. DoMAGALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Peru, in the county of La Salle and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bands for Shingles, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates t0 bands for shingles, i. e., the bands or ties surrounding a bundle of shingles for securely holding them together; and its object is to provide such a band having means for carrying shingle nails suiiicient to lay or nail down all the shingles in such bundles; and, more particularly, to provide such a band having means whereby the nails may be carried so securely that they cannot be lost in shipment or otherwise; and further, to provide such a band of usual size, shape and contour although provided with such nail-carrying means.

This object is attained by, and the invention tinds preferable embodiment in, the structure hereinafter -particularly described in the body of this specification and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in Which:-

Figure 1 is a side view of a bundle of shingles securely bound together;

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same taken on line 2--2 of Figure 3, the middle part thereof and the ends of the shingles being broken away:

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional View of 3 of Figure 2, middle parts being broken away; and

Figure 4 is a View in perspective (much reduced) of a carton or container for shingle nails.

In Figures 1. 2 and 3 of the drawings a number of shingles 1 of common form are shown securely bound together in the usual manner, i. e., by bands comprising rigid members, the wooden bars 2,'3, extending transversely of the shingles and connected by metal straps 4 nailed thereto at 5. At least one of these rigid members, as 2, has a recess 6 with closed bottom 7 and side and end walls 8, 9, said recess opening at 10 toward the shingles. Shingle nails indicated 1923. Serial No. 651,847.

at 11 may be inserted into this recess, and in the operative position of the band are confined therein by the outer surface of the outmost shingles of the bundle contacting with the inner surface of the member 2. Preferably however, a paper container or carton l2 is filled with the nails and is then inserted into the recess, preferably closely fitting therein in at least one of its crosssectional directions (as seen in Figure 2), whereupon the band is applied to bind the shingles together and confine the carton in the recess.

It will be seen that the rigid members or bars 2, 3, and the straps 4 are all of usual size, shape and contour and the straps 4 are nailed to the bars 2, 3 in the usual manner; and also that the containing means for the nails does not project at any point from the outlines of such usual construction and therefore such containing means cannot be broken off or the nails lost, but that the nails are securely held until the time the bands are broken in the usual way to release the shingles for laying them.

I claim 1. In a band for shingles; a rigid member extending transversely of the shingles and having a recess opening toward the shingles, adapted to hold shingle nails; means extending from said member around the shingles for securely binding them together and holding said member thereto to confine the nails in the recess.

2. In a band for shingles; a carton adapted to hold shingle nails; a rigid member extending transversely of the shingles and having a recess opening toward the shingles, adapted to removably hold the carton; means extending from said member around the shingles for securely binding them together and holding said member thereto to confine the carton in the recess.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand at. Peril, Illinois, this 30th day of June, 1923.

JOHN E. DOMAGALL.
